Default Different Pushrod lengths

Trying to finish up my H&C install and have a quick question. I have etp 215's 60cc, 0.040" Cometic and Lunati lifters. Cam is a 223/234 .636/.598. To achieve 0.040" preload with my stock rockers I measured 8.030" exhaust PR and 7.990" on the intake. I have seen another etp car with different size pr's but it seems that every other set-up I come across has the same length for all 16. So my question is if you have a measurable difference in lift between the intake and exhaust shouldn't you have different length PR's if you're trying to achieve identical preload across the board?
Thanks guys, need someone to set me straight on this.

I was dealing with this and descided it was best to just get adjustable RRs and could not be happier.

Your car is going to make really good power and torque! I know because I have first hand experience with that cam and heads. Definately measure the intake and exhaust length as the are not the same.
